affects me when the clocks
leap forward an hour.
Instead of this excessive daylight,
give me headlights to and from work.
Give me constellations before dinner.
My light therapy is the radiance

and pulling all the curtains closed.
Fall back
to streets emptied of barbecues, motorcycles, and children’s laughter.
Fall back
to early evenings at home with books open, tea hot, and all contact electronic.
